Summary
Daldrup & Söhne AG have received a drilling order from Stadtwerke Neuruppin GmbH (SWN) for the drilling of two geothermal wells for a proposed geothermal district heating network project for the town of Neuruppin in Brandenburg, Germany. Drilling is expected to start by the 2nd quarter of 2024.
In early 2023, SWN received a grant notification from the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control for EUR 10 million to fund the geothermal heating project. This funding will account for about about 40% of the cost for the project that has an estimated budget of EUR 25.5 million.
The drilling order is for two geothermal wells, each to a depth of around 2000 meters. Thermal water at temperatures of around 70 °C is expected to be extracted from the boreholes. This will be fed into the existing district heating network in combination with high-temperature heat pumps. A thermal feed-in capacity of 76 GWh per year has been calculated for the project, corresponding to the requirements of around 3000 average four-person households.
